PVCs PACs getting worse
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hey folks
Trying to see if anyone has some insight into what could be causing PVCs PACs and Angina the last 4 years. I am a 32 year old 200lb male with 2 non stressful jobs. I have had severe plaque psoriasis and arthritis for 13 years and uncontrolled systolic hypertension for half of that. Currently on a biologic for psoriasis which has resolved all symptoms and propanol for blood pressure which has reduced frequency of the pvcs pacs and brought blood pressure around 135/75 opposed to 150/85 it was before.
Over the last 4 years I have discovered the following
- Potassium triggers a lot of palpitations anything about 3% DV in foods drinks I could be in hospital with 10-20 per hour
- Calcium and Vitamin D triggers palpitations and angina pain, if I want to have severe squeezing pain in the middle of my chest just need to take a good ol tums or a vitamin D supplement pill, pain subsides 30mins to an hour with hot tea helping it subside quicker, odd
- Soybean oil causes migraines and some palpitations, maybe an allergy...this started around the time the palpitations did
- Chlorine in hot tubs pools gets me stuck in tacardia causing a ton of palpitations and hospital visit with it, they did not classify this as an allergy and resting heart rate goes back to normal after a day
- Heat, fever from being sick or being a hot humid room sets them off not as bad as calcium potassium chlorine
- Caffeine, everyones poison, without beta blockers 70-100mg makes me feel drunk and aggravated the palpitations, with beta blockers it doesn't do this
Have had 10 + echos ecgs and a few stress tests, getting very light headed while exercising but still passing stress test for now. Also lung xray done as well. Got mad after doctors didnt do anything bought 4 lead ECG of my own, the last year or so it picks up pvcs pacs and something called a left bundle branch block, recently as problems got worse and I had to resort to beta blocker therapy it started showing something about a hemi block....
should I keep pursuing doctors about this situation or am I just crazy and should ignore it. Could a blocked artery somehow fool an echo and ecg test? attached images above of personal ecg tests done

I can't offer any advice, but it sounds like something not to ignore. I suffer from random pvc's (last 7 years) and they are frustrating and can often cause anxiety/panic. I've learned to live with them for the most part as all tests so far have been fine, but I still go the the doc occasionally for a sanity check if nothing else.
